Security forces foil attack on al-Hashd al-Ashaeri checkpoint near Baqubah
[Iraq News] A local official in Diyala Province declared, on Saturday, that al-Hashd al-Ashaeri foiled an attack launched by the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... on a security checkpoint, east of Baqubah. Head of Mansuriya Council, Ragheb al-Anbaki, said in a press statement that the Islamic State group launched an attack on a checkpoint belonging to al-Hashd al-Ashaeri, on the outskirts of Sharwain area, in the vicinity of al- Mansuriya area. Al-Hashd forces managed to foil the attack, and forced the Islamic State members to flee, Anbaki added. Noteworthy, security checkpoints in the villages of al- Mansuriya are frequently attacked by the Islamic State bad boys, and sometimes resulting in casualties. Posted by: Fred 2017-04-09 |
